low oil pressure CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO 1996 5.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 0 If you make a hard stop, the light may come on for a
moment. This is normal.
Low Oil Level Light
Don’t keep driving if the oil pressure is low. If
you do, your engine can become
so hot that it
catches fire. You or others could be burned.
Check your oil as soon as possible and have your
vehicle serviced.
I NOTICE:
Damage to your engine from neglected oil
problems can be costly and
is not covered by your
warranty.
LOW
OIL
Your engine is equipped
with an oil level monitoring
system. When the ignition
key
is turned on, the LOW
OIL light will briefly flash.
If the light does not flash,
have
it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you if there’s
a problem.
If the light stays on, stop the vehicle on a level surface
and turn
the engine off. Check the oil level using the
engine oil dipstick. (See “Engine Oil”
in the Index.)
If the light does not flash, have the low oil level sensor
system repaired
so it will be ready to warn you if there’s
a problem.
The oil level monitoring system only checks oil level
during the brief period between key
on and engine
crank. It does not monitor engine oil level when the
engine is running. Additionally, an oil level check
is
only performed if the engine has been turned off for a
considerable period of time, allowing the oil normally in
circulation to drain back into the oil pan.

Vacuum and brush the area to remove any loose dirt.

directions on the container label.
Use suds only and apply with a clean sponge.
Don’t saturate
the material.
Don’t rub
it roughly.
As soon as you’ve cleaned the section, use a sponge
to remove the suds.
Rinse the section with a clean, wet sponge.
Wipe off what’s left with
a slightly damp paper towel
or cloth.
Then dry
it immediately with a blow dryer.
Wipe with a clean cloth.
Using Solvent-wpe Cleaner on Fabric
First, see if you have to use solvent-type cleaner at all.
Some spots and stains will clean off better with just
water and mild soap. If you
need to use a solvent:
0 Gently scrape excess soil from the trim material with a
clean, dull knife or scraper. Use very little cleaner, light
pressure and clean cloths (preferably cheesecloth).
Cleaning should
start at the outside of the stain,
“feathering” toward the center. Keep changing to a
clean section
of the cloth.
0 When you clean a stain from fabric, immediately
dry the area with a blow dryer to help prevent a
cleaning ring.
Fabric Protection
Your Chevrolet has upholstery and carpet that has been
treated with Scotchgard” Fabric Protector,
a 3M
product. It protects fabrics by repelling oil and water,
which are the carriers of most stains. Even with this
protection, you still need to clean your upholstery and
carpet often to keep it looking new.
